Shrouded in Mystery

Santa Ana Pizza Company started life recently. On Friday nights, they offer a habanero pizza eating challenge. The test is heat rather than quantity.

Information on the challenge is sparse. There was a listing on Yelp but apparently it was removed of late. A reviewer said that challenge winners would get a t-shirt or a free pizza.

There are a couple YouTube videos.

Maybe it's not an official challenge after all. Time to pick up the phone. With all the luck I've had with capacity challenges, heat has become the new frontier.

There's also a new huge pizza challenge in Eagle Rock if you want to push your gut. 28" pizza, no toppings required, one cup of water, 45 minutes. Free if you win.

The place is called Corner Pizzeria. They offer you a tasty way to risk $30. They told me over the phone that one man has pulled it off thus far.

Hmmm... eating a 28" pizza with so little water (and in 45 minutes) is a serious feat. It's gotta go on the list!
